What should I pay attention to in the first seven days of sacrifice?

First of all, the first seven ghost nights were the first time that the deceased returned to his six relatives and their families after Yang's death. The memorial day of July 7th is the period when the deceased was in the shade, and the consciousness of the deceased has not been completely cut off. One explanation in the local dialect is that the deceased didn't know he was dead. This is not a so-called ghost. Therefore, the first notice of this night of seven souls returning home is that the families of the deceased must remember their ancestors on this day and must not refuse to leave because of family chores that make the deceased feel sad and sorry.

Second, in the first seven days of the year, there will be a cow's head and horse's face, two ghosts and four ghost soldiers to escort the souls of the dead and let them return to their homes. Seven days ago, I entered the house from windows, chimneys and other places; On the same day, he walked out of the door. In the first seven days, descendants of the family can place tributes at home. Beef, horse meat and dog meat should be forbidden in the tribute, and the richer the meat, the better, so as to reward the four ghosts and make it difficult for them to suppress the dead. At the same time, the food that ancestors liked before their death can also be put in tributes and used on the road.

Third, at the same time, on the seventh day of the first week, a bowl of water and a bowl of grain should be placed at the entrance of Xiaowu. Putting clear water means that ancestors can wash away dust, avoid disasters and go on the road with peace of mind; Putting five grains of grain means avoiding suffocation, preventing criminals from crying, and driving away evil souls and molds. This bowl of clear water and a bowl of grain can be sprinkled directly at the door the next morning, and the grain can be thrown into the running water on the same day. On the night of the first seven days, the tributes, burning paper and silver tickets taken from the stone kelp can be burned at the crossroads and fasted.

Fourthly, in Shaman Xianmen, ancestors are not allowed to go to the cemetery for sacrifice on the seventh day, because the ancestors of various temples will officially record the magnetic field of the dead's yin house on this day and come to check it. At the same time, it's also the time to catch body double by exhaling evil spirits. Therefore, on the seventh day, I will go to the cemetery to offer sacrifices. On the one hand, it will make the temple gods and the dead, lust after the world of mortals, die and so on. On the other hand, it will bring bad luck to the living, and on the other hand, it will be easy to collide with the evil spirits who breathe. On the seventh day of the first week, if it is inconvenient for future generations to submit confessions at home, they should also burn paper and offer sacrifices to their ancestors that night.

Fifth, in the first seven ghost nights, if there are people with confinement and four eyes at home, avoid them to avoid colliding with the dead and various Yin soldiers. For those who die suddenly and unexpectedly, they will report their dreams to their relatives in the first seven days. If your family dreams of it or sees it at home, don't panic. Quietly ask the deceased, help them properly handle the unfinished business, and let them rest assured to go west, Guangming Avenue and Yaochi Road. After the first seven days, the ancestors will board the Homeward Observatory, start the road to the grave and never come back.
